In addition to network management tools that allow network administrators to statically add and delete
VLAN member ports, the Routing Switch supports GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP).
GVRP supports the dynamic registration of VLAN port members within a switch and across multiple
switches. In addition to dynamically updating registration entries within a switch, GVRP is used to
communicate VLAN registration information to other VLAN-aware switches, so that members of a
VLAN can cover a wide span of switches in a network.
GVRP allows both VLAN-aware workstations and the Switch to issue and revoke VLAN memberships.
VLAN-aware Switches register and propagate VLAN membership to all ports that are part of the active
topology of the VLAN.
